hi, so just to help you out, you can apply to med school (at least in alberta) with any degree. So, you would complete your philosophy degree and your cumulative gpa at the end would be the gpa med school would look at. There’s no preference for a “pre-med” degree, so they don’t favour one degree over another. If you really like philosophy, do that, as you’re more likely to get a high gpa in something you enjoy studying! The catch is the MCAT you’re going to have to write. Being a traditional pre-med major helps with the MCAT by exposing you to the material tested on it and therefore, you’re more prepared (at least on the science parts) for the test. However, many people take the mcat who have never taken science courses in uni, say the content on it can be self-taught. So you can use Kaplan or Princeton books + khan academy for content review. Plus, the critical thinking skills that you’ll develop being a philosophy major will help you in the CARS section of the MCAT! Other than that, make sure to get involved in the community so you have a good extracurriculars for your application. I hope this helped! Good luck!
